Mission
At Providence College, our Catholic and Dominican mission invites every member of the community—students, faculty, and staff—to seek truth, grow in virtue, and serve God and neighbor.
This mission animates all dimensions of campus life, shaping how we teach, learn, research, serve, and build community. Whether you’re a student exploring your vocation or a faculty member connecting your discipline to a deeper purpose, there are many ways to engage. Learn more about how faculty and students are living out this shared mission.
For Students
At Providence College, veritas—truth—is more than a motto; it’s the heartbeat of our mission. From the classroom to the chapel, from the residence halls to late-night study sessions, we pursue truth together—intellectually, communally, and spiritually. To study at Providence is to join a centuries-old Dominican tradition that believes the search for truth is transformative. It will illumine your vocation for a flourishing life in God’s Providence.
For Faculty
Providence College invites faculty into a distinctive academic community rooted in the Catholic and Dominican tradition. Here, the pursuit of truth is more than a disciplinary task—it is a shared journey that draws on both faith and reason, animated by a commitment to conversation, intellectual rigor, and the common good. We seek colleagues who are eager to engage this mission, whether from within the Catholic tradition or in thoughtful conversation with it.
